		falcolas on April 10, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I fixed a parasitic drain on my car in 408 days Personally, I'd go for a relay on a non-problematic circuit. But I also get why you might just leave it disconnected - if it's pulling a few more amps with no clear cause, what is going to go wrong with it next, and what vital system will it take with it?

Oh a relay that goes on after you turned the key would be very handy. It is rather easy to find a point where there's only a voltage present after/while starting.

Of course, when the array controlled circuit would be vital for entering or starting, this would not be an option.
